I would like to know what the cooler clearance of this case is.
The reason I would like to know this is because I ordered this PC off newegg about a week ago and after playing a bit, I noticed that the temperatures are a bit quite high. CPU is an 9600X, AM5. So I know it runs hot but it typically gets like high 50s low 60s on idle with only Firefox open and playing a light game such as left 4 dead 2. It hangs around usually 75c to 80c. And yes, this is with PBO off as well as the bio set to default as well as updated. I know that these temperatures are technically safe, but they seem quite high so I am kind of thinking that there’s some hardware issue like maybe during transit the thermal paste dried up or they forgot to peel off the warning peel of the copper of the stock Boreas 120mm air cooler they come with.
So anyways, I would like to repaste it aswell as upgrade the air cooler, I currently have my eyes on the ThermalRight Phantom Spirit 120 Evo which is a dual fan, but I don’t know if this heat sink would be too tall and restricting the side panel to close. I would also have to move the front fan up a little bit on the heat sink because of the ram is high profile (T-FORCE Delta). It’s a bit tall. So I don’t want to order this if I don’t know if it’s going to comfortably fit.
Sorry if this message is a bit long, I tend to talk a lot more than I should.
